Abstract (en)

When acute hepatitis progresses to fulminant hepatitis, a large amount of hepatic cells are rapidly broken, and as a result, the prognosis is seriously worsened. Thus, it is important to prognose the progress of acute hepatitis into fulminant hepatitis at an early stage and quickly start an appropriate treatment therefor. Although the prognosis of progress into fulminant hepatitis becomes possible owing to recent advances in test methods and diagnostic techniques, there has been no appropriate prophylactic/therapeutic agent for fulminant hepatitis. The present invention provides a therapeutic agent for acute hepatitis or a prophylactic/therapeutic agent for fulminant hepatitis with little side effect. The problem of the invention was solved by using a composition containing apolipoprotein A-II.
